I had a great time out last night and saw lots of friends. A pub full of people I know - how great is that! [livejournal.com profile] friend_of_tofu got very excited when I told her that I have House on Haunted Hill and asked me to bring it the E&M do at the end of the month, but .. well, now I don't know if I have it or not!

I tried to leave early but it was already 9:30 by the time I got back to Putney, and then I ruined my extra-long night's sleep by writing up The Good Soul of Szechuan, which [livejournal.com profile] wechsler and I saw Monday night at the Young Vic. I enjoyed it, but Brecht is not everyone's cup of tea.

Meanwhile I'm back to Marcel and have started The Fugitive part of The Prisoner and The Fugitive. I'm on page 401, in the middle of a big section all about loss. I read almost two pages from it to [livejournal.com profile] wechsler, all about how intuition understands what the intellect doesn't in regard to relationships - how the signs that it's over will register at one level even while you deny them as "not making any sense." I thought it was really great.

I've been treating this as Dress Like a Girl week due to the good weather (see icon), although I'm not sure if the weather is going to cooperate today. Time to get off the couch and get to it, though!

Well! What a day. I spent most of it working on my presentation of my StarEast experience for people at work. It was amazing to see just how much I'd learned in four days. And let's not forget how much I learned about manatees! I also got together with [livejournal.com profile] barakta for lunch at Thai Dream, around the corner. Yes, I actually slacked off and had a gym free lunch, but I'll be back tomorrow.

I also did a lot of online research about soem of the QA stuff from the conference. First, I found and evaluation of the cost of fixing bugs at various phases in the software development lifecycle; then I found the great video by the Powerpoint Comedian; finally I got entirely off topic and found an article about travelling in Salamanca, Spain from Rick Steves. Man, that looks good. I'm sure I'll make it eventually!

Now for leaving drinks with a colleague ...
